Buyer claimed package arrived broken, filed claim and is falsely saying he returned the item

Has anyone been in a situation before where a buyer claimed the package arrived with the items broken, filed a complaint/dispute and claimed to have returned the package but did not? On top of it, he filed the claim right after I ordered $300 replacement parts for him for this so-called broken purchase! Now I feel like I have been scammed, since he had told me once he already owned a set of the speakers.  I'm starting to think he planned this all along so he could get replacement parts for his other speakers for free?! Why else would he file a dispute right after I told him I was getting him the replacement parts (which he requested and wanted).  The item is very expensive!!! Paypal has the funds on hold now, so I have a negative balance because the money wasn't in there.  How do you protect yourself against these kinds of buyers?
